In Times Of Trouble

Posted on May 05 , 2010 in Pastor's Blog

Psalms 20:1-5 (NLT) 20:1 In times of trouble, may the LORD answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. 2 May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem. 3 May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Interlude 4 May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed. 5 May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers.

Every one experiences times of trouble in their lives.  At those time – it is sometimes hard to know how to pray and how to react.  David wrote this Psalm during a difficult season in his life.  Notice his plea:

In Times Of Trouble…

1-    May the Lord answer your cry

2-    May God’s name keep you safe

3-    May God send you help

4-    May God strengthen you

5-    May God give you the needed gifts

6-    May God look favorably on you

7-    May God grant your hearts desires

8-    May God make you successful

9-    May others shout for joy when they hear of your victory

10-  May God answer ALL your prayers

Perhaps it would be important for us to meditate on this today – knowing that God so wants to help us in our times of trouble and He so wants us to walk in the totality of His blessings.
